Who says whisky is reserved for the more mature and brooding set of gents? Honoring the long-standing tradition and heritage of the distilled Scotch spirit, Macallan continues to persist with a new edition that makes each swig a heightened experience unlike any other.
While it has been seen on the wood countertops of films such as James Bond: Spectre, Argo and TV show, Suits, The Macallan is no stranger to the shelves of many a discerning man. A most sought after single malt whisky for collectors, Macallan has built its reputation over the last few decades for its rich, bold taste, as well as it being a sensorial experience with each bottle.
Honoring a long-guarded tradition and quality, Macallan introduces the Edition No. 3, a continuation of its innovative series that is a result of an original collaboration between Macallan’s master whisky maker, Bob Dalgarno and master perfumer, Roja Dove. A union of aroma and taste, each discerning sip reveals the complexities of single malt whisky. With a focus and commitment to oak casks and wood as introduced with Edition No. 1 and No. 2, the latest edition reveals a deeper detail and reverence for the spirit.
A glint of gold instantly draws you to the Macallan Edition No. 3 but it is in its aroma that makes you linger, eventually giving in to the drink. A true testament to the work of Roja Dove, the first exhale of scent leads with vanilla, oak and delicate florals. After the initial settle, it builds to a bold mix of citrus, as well as giving off a warmth with ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Finishing off the exquisite fragrance is a lash of chocolate that excites the senses.
The taste isn’t left behind, of course. Robust and dignified, the palate is a thrilling combination of sweet fruit and vanilla. A splash on the tongue suggests hints of apricot, pear and crisp green apple. Meanwhile, a heat rises to a balance before giving way to a light woody oak finish.
Bob Dalgarno, The Macallan’s Master Whisky Maker, said: “Inspiration and innovation lie at the heart of The Macallan,” says Bob Galgarno. A pushing of the boundaries if anything, the Edition No. 3 challenges the status quo of the whisky landscape. A remarkable coming together of different worlds, the latest from Macallan delivers an experience unparalleled. “Edition No. 3 is an exceptional example of the whisky maker’s art, where Bob has interpreted my thoughts so accurately, when combined with the extraordinary power of scent,” concurs Roja Dove.
A culmination of flavor, aroma and heritage, The Macallan Edition No. 3 offers a game-changer. Alluring as it is with any whisky to the uninitiated, the latest strides in the oft-misunderstood plane of spirits have opened it up to a new generation of connoisseurs and enthusiasts that will assure an intimate persistence of the distinctive single malt.
